Anti-Aging Neck Cream

Well, this is quite unique. I never have or try a cream specially for my neck. I know you sort of have to care for your neck. Like moisturiser it, but I never like to bother much. Cause it's quite painful to rub my neck area. Like I know you have to rub upwards not down. And I always don't feel comfortable. So it's the same with this. I just like the smell of this. Smells so good. And the first time I use it, it's like it really firm up. Like it tingles with the tingling. It's hard to explain, but there is something. I wouldn't personally buy it again, but as sample is nice to have once in awhile.   

Bioderma Nourishing Cream

It's a rare day when I need extra moisturizing. This is for dry to very dry skin. It's surprising that it is not that oily on my skin. For some reason my skin has been quite dry. Wait, I know the reason. Cause I've been eating  pills for spots control. So ya, I need moisturisation. This helps a lot. It just stops my skin from peeling. It also feels nice on the skin. I have to use powder to matte it out a bit. But at least my face is not dry out.   

LeMatte Color Riche - She's So Matte

I just had to have this. There was so much raves when this came out. It's not on the permanent line and you can't get it in Singapore. I bought it from Singsale . At first, it's a really moisturing lipstick. It goes on really buttery. Plus as a fatter pencil form, it's really good for precise application. It's a twist up too, so no need to sharpen. No 408, a beautiful hot pink that gives a pop of color to a bare face. It can be worn lightly and it will be just a sheer lipstick. Or you can layer it and it will be more pigmented. It's beautiful either way. It will eventually set into a matte finish. It is still transferable but it sort of stain your lips. So in the end the color will not run off. It's one of the thing I like about it. It comfortable on the lips. But after a few uses, this appear to be more drying that the first few times using it. Despite the fact that packaging is a tight closure. It's not that bad. Still goes on smooth, but not like that...

SNP ACSYS Spot Trouble Patch

I like to believe that acne patch works, and I am not sure if they do work. Cause Everytime you use them, it won't heal magically overnight. You have to at least use them for 3 times for the pimple to subside. So that's three nights which is the same as using normal pimple cream. But using these is just good cause you can see residue sticking to the stickers. So it feels like gunk is being taken off your face.  This has 6 big patch and 6 smaller ones. You are suppose to put on for 8 - 12 hours which I never have that much time to. So maybe it was suppose to work wonders, but I just don't have the time to find out. Anyway, despite putting for like maximum 6 hours, I find that it is alright. If you have a huge pimple, use this. Patches really help to reduce the size. Especially on those spots that can see the white pus, I guess that's what you call it.    For $2 at Guardian, it's a really reasonable product. Can be useful to have on hand. 

Hot Mama

I am still loving the tiny packaging. Love the magnetic closure too. The product itself is not bad. So far, no problem with theBalm, I like all the product I've tried. This is a blush, which also can be used as an eyeshadow. It's a shimmery golden specks peachy color blush. I don't exactly use it. More for playing around but it's good. The pigmentation is good. But I guess for me, it won't show up as much as compare to someone more fair.  Will repurchase? Probably not. 

Harnn Oriental Rose Hand Balm with Coenzyme Q10

This is made in Thailand. 25g. Not sure if it's a Thai brand but I love it. It's just a tube that has to be punctured before use. So that's a great way to ensure new product. The cream is light and it smells lovely. It is rose, but not so overpowering. I like it. I think I am really getting into the rose scent. Cause I'm now ok with the scent of roses unlike before. But I guess maybe it's the roses that doesn't stink as much. Anyway, the best part about this is that it sinks into skin really fast. Like magic. I'm so impress. I think it's the best hand cream in the world so far. A lot of lotion sink into the skin but not as fast as this. And it just doesn't leave that sticky feeling. As if I didn't put on any cream at all. I mean there is tiger fast and then there is jaguar fast, you know why I mean. So ya. Highly recommend this.   

The Wet Brush

I have 3 the wet brush. Well I have 1, I bought the other two for my mom and sis. My sis got the big one. The original which I kind of regret not getting. It's nicer than the smaller ones as it is bigger. So it is easier to brush your hair with. The bristles will go through your hair so much better. Especially if you have thick hair. The smaller one, the bristle doesn't hit your roots. I like the feeling of the brush touching my scalp. That's why I prefer the bigger one.  The smaller one is good though don't get me wrong. It's just that it is a better brush for your purse.    Anyway, they do come out with different colors. So it's easy to own one with your favorite color. Even the purples. I have one metallic, one more rubbery feel.  I started this post with a lot in my head. I want to rave about these but now I just got nothing to say. It is good. Unlike any normal comb or brush. The bristle is good. It helps get rid of tangles. Even though my sis will say yes ...

Monoprix Shampooing Doux Beurre de Mangue

It is quite a curse to have Wordpress in a few platform. I wrote a lengthy post on this one and it was gone, just like that. Cause maybe I forgot to refresh? Anyway, I'm too lazy to tell the story again, so in summary due to language problem I thought this is for oily hair when infact it's an oil type shampoo?! See I even forgot my research.  Huile de riz, cheveux Monoprix is like another Carrefour. So this is like 2€. It's surprisingly quite good for my oily hair. It won't last more than 12h, but it's still pretty good. I wanted to tell you that it smells like mangoes but honestly I forgot. Cause my notes also disappear. So ya, just wanna post this up cause it's already on draft anyway.   But seriously, for about 5 days, this shampoo helps to survive Paris with looking like a head of grease, I feel that it's quite good. Unless someone tell me that this is in fact for oily hair, then I would have expect better from this shampoo. 

First Impression: dermasoul Detox Mask with Algae Extract

Yes I'm attracted to the pink packaging that's why I bought it. It's suited for getting rid of skin troubles. Troubles occur when skin is tired and dried from aging over time. Also can be from harmful environments, stresses, and tiredness.  I really think that Leaders Clinic's masks are not tight. I mean I still feel that it doesn't cling on to the face as other masks. It won't drop off, I tried jumping around, but it just doesn't feel as pampering as others. Anyway, 5 minutes into wearing this, my face kind of itches. The mask is very wet. It has a lot of essence, but not messy. It won't dry out after 15 - 20 minutes. So that will make some people happy. But when I took off the mask, my whole face is just drench in the essence. It doesn't look like water, more like as if my whole face perspire. Not a pretty sight. I just let it air dry cause I didn't want to wipe it away. But after 2 minutes, I could not stand it and I took a tissue to pay my fa...

MUA Matte Lipstick in Siren

This will be the last red lipsticks for a while. I think. I might be lying. Anyway, I'll probably do a comparison of my MUA and MUR Reds. They are all £1 each, so it's quite a fair comparison.   This is not exactly look matte in person. Eventually it will lose its shine and appear more matte. But basically, it is just more drying as compare to the normal MUA lipsticks. It is still ok, but not recommended for anyone who have super dry lips. Also, the color is not super red. It is more magenta. So it is more friendly to wear. But at different light, it will appear red.

RT Your Eyes/Enchanted Starter Set

I am slowly collecting all the RT brushes. I really like them. I buy them all from  iHerb . So this kit consist of 5 brushes and a case which I never use. Base shadow brush  is just nice fluffy all over the lid brush. It's a nice size to use as it is just a good eye lid size. Like one sweep kind of application and you are good to go. It's a good size, convinient and fast to apply, that's what I'm trying to say.  Deluxe crease brush This is quite an oversize brush. I find that it is quite big for my crease. So I use this to blend concealer for my undereye instead. It's a better purpose anyway. I also will use this as an all over eye lid brush also.  Accent brush Remind me a lot of the detailer brush from the face set, but the bristles are shorter. So it is great to use under the eyes or even as an eyeliner. Inner corner of eyes too. It will be very precise as it is quite small and firm. Can be use as a concealer brush too. To cover those small pimples.  Pixel-p...

TBS Fuji Green Tea Body Sorbet

It had been awhile. Well at least for me. But I just miss scented products. TBS is a cheaper alternative. So I walked into their store.  They came out with the new Fuji Green Tea series. Doesn't smell too much like green tea, but it's quite refreshing and clean. I got the body sorbet cause why not? Actually I am used to their body lotions and body butters but this is the first time I saw the sorbet. I guess it is kind of a mix in between butter and lotion. But it's kind of more towards a gel like constancy with a mix of lotion.  It is less sticky as compare to the lotion. But still as moisturing. So it's quite nice to apply this for summer days in Singapore.   

LaCouture Covering Base BB

This just gives me the most flawless face ever. I applied this with a stippling brush and my face is brighter and very air brush feel. Sure, it's too light for me. That's the only sad part, that's why my face is much brighter. It's good that it is brighter but it seems to light. I kind of have to bronze a bit. Only then it's fine. Not a big problem for me. See the swatch, once it's blended, it's just a tad light for me.    This has SPF40, so that's nice. And I just googled that this is suppose to cover skin stains and even freckles. So yah, that's why my face is flawless.  I love this as it gives my face a matte finish. I don't have to powder my face after. It's also quite long lasting. Since it covers my blemishes and dark circles, I don't need concealer too. But under the eyes will be the one place that this bb cream will fade off. Not as bad, but it's, well it can be better.  So overall, I love this. Will be the perfect shade for a...

Shiseido Perfect Rouge Lipstick

This is in color RD305, a berry red that's pretty for the fall actually. But we have no fall, so it's just a year round color for us. You can say it's a deep color, but it's also quite bright which is perfect for the afternoon.     It's a smooth, pigmented lipstick that glides on easily on the lips. It's moisturizing and feels really nice. Since it's quite a dark color, it sort of stain the lips. Leaving you with a nice berry stained lips. It's not really long lasting, but the stain kind of helps making your lips look good for a longer time. It doesn't dry up your lips. So it's a really good lipstick. Recommended. 

Sulwhasoo Snowise Whitening UV Compact

I love Sulwhasoo. So I was so happy having a chance to try out their powder. One thing I don't like straight away is the packaging. The plastic divider between the sponge and powder, it pull up instead of side way. So it kind of block the mirror.    The powder has a really mild scent of ginger. It is also quite pretty with white flakes which is the whitening part of it. Powder is not smooth and its a bit light for me. But on the face, it's not as bad. I think they only have one shade, as I don't see any claim on a shade on it. It said that the marble type particles apply transparently. I guess it is, but too small to really see if it really is transparent or just makes it whiter.  It has a SPF of 50, so it's nice. It is not a powder that is meant for oily skin, so my skin will get oily after a while. I don't really like that. But it's easy to touch up, so it's not really a problem. But ya, the packaging. Why can't it move to the side instead of the top. ...

Yves Rocher Organic Vanilla

Christmas set right here. Love the scent. It's like a perfume vanilla. Not like vanilla extract but still quite good. I don't know, there is just something about it that makes me like it. So this set comes with 3 item. The shower puff, gel and lotion.  Silky Lotion is quite a watery lotion. I so used to squeeze bottle from TBS that this feels weird. The plastic is harder, so can't really clamp between my fingers. But the lotion flow out nicely. It's liquid-like and easy to apply. Sometime it feels like pour out to much. I guess also cause the opening is quite big. Blends into the skin and absorb quickly. Doesn't makes the skin feels sticky. Really good. Really love. Shower Gel is also very watery. It's like a thick syrup. But easy to flow out of the bottle. It lathers quite well. But I find that with shower gels is that it is better to use with a loofah. A bit of goes a long way. It will foam up, makes lathering so much more fun and easier. I guess you can alway...

Intense Glitter Eyeliners

I have here 2 glittery eyeliners from MUA. Pink Sparkle which is what it said a sparkly pink. Silver Sparkle , a sparkly silver. I don't use eyeliners but I'm just attracted to these two. I just love playing with them, but I don't use them at all. At least not for going out. I try them on at home, just for fun, but that's about it. They are so sparkly and pretty that I don't know how to wear them out unless for a party. And I don't have any party to go to.  So how I use them is on my lower lashes and inner corner of the eyes. Light enough when smudge out, they are the perfect shade to apply around the eyes. Very subtle. But of course I can darkern them. I'm will use it over black or brown liners. But ya, I find that they don't really smudge provided I don't rub my eyes. It won't last long, as I find that they will wear off after certain hours. But I mean it's £1 each, so it's quite good.  And you can always just apply this, rub off the c...
